The President’s Fund will launch a new initiative to deliver services at the regional level through the Divisional Secretariat offices, under the leadership of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake on February 7 at the Temple Trees, Colombo.
Previously, the official work of the President’s Fund was limited to Colombo.Under the new plan, these services will be extended nationwide through 341 sub-offices established at Divisional Secretary offices in the country.
The relevant pilot projects for five selected Divisional Secretary offices are already operational, and the full-scale implementation of the new service model will begin nationwide on February 7.
This initiative was announced during a virtual meeting held on Saturday (25) at the President’s Office to brief Divisional Secretaries about the new approach to the President’s Fund’s services.
Secretary of the President’s Fund and the Senior Additional Secretary to the President, Roshan Gamage, highlighted that the new digitalisation and networking plan aims to provide more efficient and effective services to the public.
Through this system, anyone can request financial assistance related to their disease at their local Divisional Secretary office, and the necessary documentation can be submitted there as well.
During the discussion, Divisional Secretaries were informed about the procedures for selecting patients, preparing the necessary documents and the responsibilities of the President’s Fund.
